“Good night stories for rebel girls”. Tlalpan, Mexico city.
National Cancer Institute. (C)ourtesy Alex who’s a doctor there. 🙂
Dali expo, Historic centre, Mexico city.
In the garden. (For the photo; those are normally kept inside)
“Selling typewriters.” 2018. Seriously.
Nights of Acapulco… A new series: “Beers of the world”. (And it’s 4.8% alcohol, not 48%, in case Judge K. asks…)
“Is my hair all right?”
In the garden again. This one stays outside.
Saint Alone. Pulquería. This cantina was closed for a long while. Probably for not paying the correct bri… I mean, not filling the appropriate paper work.
“The resurrected.” It has now re-opened.
Colonial church, Tlalpan. 16th-17th century probably.
Colours. (May have posted this one already… ‘need to upgrade my filing system…)
Tlalpan. A few blocks away.
Hydro-Art. Those are water wells, a joint venture with the Water authority, Comex, the #1 paint manufacturer and Converse. (Shoes? I fail to see the strategy, but thanks for the paintings all the same.)
Have a colourful week-end.
Equinoxio 
Grand pictures. I love how the buildings are decorated. it makes them unique. Hugs
It does. Have a great week Scottie. (How was the Tampa zoo? That was last week-end right?)
No we did not do it yet. The thing I like about these tickets is we can use them for a year any days we wish. Ron is trying to get his schedule worked out. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks. Hugs
Sure. Look forward to it. Cheers.
An interesting look into your mind, once again 🙂 The green car is certainly interesting, and the timeless typewriter picture is surprising!
In my “twisted” mind? 😉
Yes typewriters? Really? I almost felt like knocking on the door and ask…
Also love the garden pics!
Thanks. We are very fortunate. It’s a small garden, but it’s always green. And I have plenty of trees in front of my library window. And the leaves never fall out. Which becomes weird around end of year. Like there is no passing of time.
Over here, the leaves are currently falling out 😊 Yellow and red… It’s beautiful, but as you know I’m not a fan of what comes next! I wouldn’t mind evergreen 😁
I know. Overall, it is more comfortable here. Weatherwise.
A nice scenic peaceful walk.
Thank you. Anything to contribute to Peace… 🙂
Arum lilies were the favourite flowers of my grandmother Georgette. She had an incredibly big clump of them in her garden. I did not try in my garden but it is probably far too cold for arums. Many thanks for this superb picture carrying good memories.
I also like the show case of the typewriter shop where the windows look like a piano keyboard.
Many thanks for the walk, Brieuc.
Pas de quoi mon ami.
In Spanish they are called Alcatraz. (Why the penitentiary? I have no clue) But they are pretty flowers. And almost zero maintenance here. I had to go back to the typewriter pic. Yes, In B&W, there is a hint of a piano keyboard.
Bonne semaine, Gilles.
Rebel girls and not filling out the proper paper work. Excellent. Love the street art and all the deep, rich color. The flowers are beautiful.
Thank you. When you live somewhere you have to find the proper, polite way to say some things. Hence the “paperwork”. 😉
LOLOLOL You did it perfectly.
😉
This walk through D.F. pleased me and made me smile in recognition. I especially remember the church in Tlalpan. One of my favorite wanderings in Mexico was through whatever church happened to be in my path. I especially remember a church in an Indian Village in the mountains above Oaxaca. No benches or chairs. A stone paved floor where I sat and watched an Indian woman, sitting on the floor, her children gathered around here, and lighting candles and herbs. Another Indian church I remember was in Santa Gertruda where I stopped to watch a dance on the village feast day and was invited to the church service. The dancers filed in, corn stalks and ankle bells whispering, and lay their bounty of food and cornstalks in front of the altar. Which leads me to asking, have you ever heard of Dios Hule? That’s what the one dancer, who whirled and taunted and wore a mask, called himself. I can also see in memory’s eye the uneven and tilted stone flooring in the downtown cathedral. I never much took to the new one in the north although I took the requisite ride below and in front of Juan Diego’s cloak.
Hi Janet. Funny (but understandable) that you should know that -out of the way- church. There are many beautiful churches around here. (Not to mention Chiapas…)
I hope all is well with you?
You got lovely flowers. I like the water drops on the calla lily.
The pink fish ( or is it a fish) took a lot of work to paint.
We’re lucky to have a small garden in a place that’s always green. No Autumn, no winter. A few months’ dry season first half of the year. Just have to water the plants.
yes, the fish is quite a work. It’s all a big project with the water commission to invite artists to paint the wells scattered everywhere. Quite nice really.
It is always great when someone invites artists to share their work.
Beautiful oasis. A place to settle down after long travels 🙂
Yes on both counts. The murals are all to be related to water. Which I had not realized at the beginning. But the result is really great.
The fish is a stunner 🙂
There are great artists on the street.
And the water drops? Classical “photo”. You know, water drops on a surface. I thought it might look nice. Always does. 😉
Yes, a good photography trick 🙂 Never wrong 🙂
😉
A lovely walk, beautiful flowers….and who’s paying who? Hmmmm….sounds like a mobster environment 🙂
Not just “mobster”. Corruption in the “South” is a plague… Unfortunately. And a major deterrent to development. 😦
Well that’s a sad state of affairs then…..darkness in a land of light….😱
Very aptly put: “darkness in a land of light”. Thank you for the concept.
If you are curious about corruption world-wide check-out Transparency International Corruption Index. Just Google it and they will take you there.
I shall do that…..sinister stuff I’m sure….😱
No. Interesting and challenging. It explains a lot of the world’s development. There are good examples to follow. 🙂
Always love how colorful different parts of the city are. Your mural photos remind me what a wonderful time I had hunting for murals around Oaxaca.
Interesting. Last time I went to Oaxaca there was no street art that I recall. Be good.
Attractive riding outfit that girl has!
Haha! I had to go back to the post. Of course you had to pick that up. I understand it has to do with the heat… (Or wasn’t there a lady riding the streets of London dressed only in her long flowing hair and whose name escapes me right now?)
Ah yes. Lady Godiva. She also had a free and easy riding habit.
That’s the lass. (They also made chocolates later on, can’t see much of a connection, though…)
wonderful images – and the girl in purple near the statue is a cool capture – but all are awesome with different moods and colors.
and i am not seeing the Converse connection either – but nice water theme
Involuntary capture as often. 😉
But the water theme is a great idea. More to come.
🙂
Beautiful photos. It felt like a walk in the area!
Thank you. 🙂
(It was the idea!)
wonderful walk Brian…it looks fresh and bright…creates a pleasant feeling and always appreciate your narratives ~ compose a happy weekend ~ smiles hedy ✌️☺️
Thank you Hedy. You too.
🙂
B.
Love this!!
Thank you. I thought you might. 🙂
Have a lovely week Resa.
😀 😀
Great photos! Thank you for sharing
Pleasure Luisa.
Glad to see that there’s still a market for typewriters, some things should never go out of fashion. Maybe the artist was channeling Lady Godiva, who rode through the streets of Coventry wearing only her hair. I don’t recall her having a trumpet though. She was supposed to be a great beauty, while her husband was supposed to be a great brute.
I do miss the sound of the typewriter. My mother typed all the time…
Not sure whether Salvador Dali did think of Lady Godiva. Or whether Dali actually did that statue. (There seems to be too much Dali “authentic” material in the world today). But the open-air expo said: “Dali”. (Ride on milady!)
